Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride (1.0 g, 3.8 mmol) was added to a solution of (6R,7aS)-6-(tert-Butyl-diphenyl-silanyloxy)-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-hexahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-3-one (1.8 g, 3.3 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The mixture was poured into water (50 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic layers was combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/CH2Cl2=1:20) to give 0.95 g (94%) of the title compound.
